Hello Out There -
This blog will be short, as I am exhausted from my twelve hour day at work. I now wake up at five in the morning every day to drive downtown. That is the bad news. The good news? I love my job!
I cannot begin to explain how it feels to be getting the type of training I am getting at my firm. So far I have attended two hearings, sat in on a deposition, taken two (mock) depositions, drafted motions for federal court... I even get to participate in a mock trial against the other summer associates from our other offices at the end of the summer... I am learning so much... and to top it all off... I have my own office. With my name on it. Overlooking downtown Miami. My own stapler. My own desk. Crazy.
Saturday night I will be attending a cocktail party at a partner's home. The party is in honor of me and the other summer associate in my office. Yep, they're throwing me a party. And a picnic next weekend. They're paying me, too.
Life is good.
And I owe this experience to St. Thomas University. I got this job through the on campus interview program, and I am so grateful for this opportunity. If anyone has any questions about the program or about life as a summer associate, let me know :)
Cheers,
Dara
